I love staying here and would pick it every time I visit London. The rooms and decoration requires some freshen up but apart from this the facilities are peaceful, and pleasant and a haven in the midst of London.

leonard, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Interesting historical place to stay, and very good value for money for London! The bed was comfortable and I slept very well, also thanks to the quiet atmosphere. The free breakfast was tasty, with different options available. The DLR station was nearby, with national trains as well. Would stay here again!
Claudio, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I didn’t park, but it was a good car park, the St Katherine is in a good spot, nice walk down the Thames, Gordon Ramsey, an nice Italian and Indian restaurant a 10min walk through the park. Excellent location for Limehouse DLR. if you want clean and comfy bed, this is great, room is basic but clean, great shower and WC facilities. Breakfast was really nice and plentiful. Staff I met were friendly and helpful

10/10 Exceptional

Great Stay

Stayed as we were attending a show at the Troxy, a 4 minute walk away. Conveniently close to Limehouse station. The room was great with an extremely comfortable bed. No noise at night is a bonus. Breakfast was buffet style with plenty to choose from. The staff were excellent and happy to give directions. Even raising an eye when we informed them the street signposts are spelt wrong (they have Cath(E)rine). Would highly recommend.

As a mobile wheelchair user, I found the hotel room was perfect for my needs. The staff was wonderful, too.

Wouldn’t Recommend for Exploring London

Pros: the staff were polite; breakfast buffet (same each day, only hot option is oatmeal) Cons: the room was REALLY small. Two people moving around the space with luggage required a lot of negotiation. Virtually no place to sit in the room except for the bed. I listened to another customer complain about the size and get upgraded to another room, but we just tried to spend all day out. Booked a superior king room. Maybe king beds are much smaller in the uk, but it felt like a double with two reasonably sized people trying to sleep. Also, the weather was very hot during our stay and the room was stifling at points. The area is quite loud at night. Woken by sirens every night of our stay. Using the DLR to get into London was fine—or the c2c the two days DLR was down— but it added time and expense. Especially if you have to get somewhere early, it would be much easier to stay inside zone 1. It also wasn’t cheap for being further out and tiny. We paid over $1800.00 for 8 nights. At that price, it would be much better to get a room in the city center. It couldn’t be smaller and would certainly be more convenient if your goal is to explore London. We also shared the space with loads of groups having retreats and/or seminars, so we didn’t feel comfortable using the gardens or other rooms at times.
